LEARN ABOUT BODINE SCHOOL
Bodine School’s program is specifically designed to provide an excellent elementary school experience for students in grades 1-5 who have been diagnosed with dyslexia. The cornerstone of Bodine’s language arts instruction is the daily Orton-Gillingham (O-G) lesson. The O-G approach grew out of the pioneering work of Dr. Samuel T. Orton and Anna Gillingham during the first half of the 20th century and emphasizes instruction that is multisensory, direct, and structured. O-G remediation is delivered in class sizes of 10 students or fewer, and all classroom teachers participate in intensive, ongoing training in O-G methods.
In addition to a strong core academic program, Bodine provides a variety of classes and activities designed to nurture the whole child. At all grade levels, co-curricular classes are incorporated into the weekly schedule; these courses include Art, Innovation Lab, Library, Music, and Physical Education.
